About Rahu Kaal(राहु काल के बारे में)

Rahu Kaal (राहु काल) is one of the three inauspicious daily periods in Vedic astrology, alongside Yamagandam and Gulika Kaal. It lasts approximately 90 minutes each day and is ruled by the shadow planet Rahu — the north node of the Moon. Most Hindus avoid starting new ventures, signing documents, or beginning journeys during this period.

The timing of Rahu Kaal changes every day because it depends on the day of the week and your local sunrise and sunset times. Our calculator uses the same astronomical engine (Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri Ayanamsa) as the Muhurat Calculator and Daily Panchang to give you precise, location-aware timings.

For a complete picture of auspicious and inauspicious timings throughout the day, including hourly Muhurat analysis, visit our Shubh Muhurat page.

Rahu Kaal in Noida is a daily period of roughly 90 minutes that tradition assigns to the shadow planet Rahu and avoids for starting new work. It occupies one-eighth of the daylight between the city's own sunrise and sunset, so the window shifts with each of the 7 weekdays.

Coordinates

Noida, a planned city in the Delhi-NCR, follows Indian Standard Time. By Ramayana tradition, nearby Bishrakh is held to be Ravana's birthplace. Panchang, choghadiya, and rahu kaal timings are computed for Noida's exact coordinates.

What is Rahu Kaal?

Rahu Kaal (राहु काल) is the period of approximately 90 minutes each day that is governed by Rahu, the north lunar node. According to Vedic tradition, activities initiated during Rahu Kaal are prone to unexpected obstacles, delays, and complications due to Rahu's shadow nature. This inauspicious period divides the daylight hours (sunrise to sunset) into 8 equal parts, with Rahu ruling a different part on each day of the week.

In Noida, the exact timing of Rahu Kaal shifts with the seasonal sunrise time. During summer months when the sun rises early (around 5:27), Rahu Kaal starts earlier. During winter months, it starts later. The live calculator above is automatically calibrated to Noida's exact latitude and longitude for the most accurate timing.

Noida's solar year — sunrise, sunset and day length

In Noida the longest day runs 13h 49m (June) and the shortest 10h 12m (December) — a seasonal swing of 3h 37m. Solar noon falls +21m from the 12:00 clock hour because Noida sits at 77.39°E rather than on the 82.5°E IST meridian. Every Tithi, Nakshatra and Rahu Kaal window on this page is derived from that sunrise, not from a national average.
